“She found the lie with the ounce of truth.” The Children's Hour (1961) directed by William Wyler and starring Audrey Hepburn, Shirley MacLaine and James Garner Next Time: Memento (2000)

Un podcast evidente… que no hemos hecho. ¿Por qué? ¡Porque es inabarcable! Pero se me ha ocurrido una idea: Vamos a hacer un repaso a la historia de la moto a través de hitos, mitos, curiosidades y hechos históricos… Y sí, ya en 1885 los alemanes presentaron su Reitwagen, en español “carro de montar”, de la cual existe una réplica, con motor de combustión entonces llamado de “Ciclo Otto” con 0,5 CV y una endiablado velocidad punta de 18 km/h. Siempre lo digo, el concepto de velocidad en este año en el que me encuentro, finales del Siglo XIX, y el vuestro en el futuro 2025, no tiene nada que ver. El progreso de la motocicleta fue rápido y muy “loco”. El francés Georges Gauthier, en 1902, refinó la motocicleta, construyendo una con el motor encerrado, una plataforma para los pies y que era más limpia y práctica. En el futuro se conocerá como Scooter, pero en el momento de su invención se llamó primero “Moto-sillón”; porque era eso, un sillón motorizado, y más tarde “motoneta” nombre que aún se usa en algunos lugares de América. Hablamos de América, concretamente de Norteamérica. Y es que solo un año más tarde, ya estamos en 1903, ¡como pasa el tiempo!, nace en Milwaukee, Wisconsin, EE.UU. de Norteamérica, la marca Harley Davidson. Nace en un famoso cobertizo, pero es una de las marcas con más historia y personalidad que ha llegado muy viva hasta nuestros días. Para poder competir con los automóviles que ya comenzaban a ser más asequibles las motos pasan de dos a tres ruedas. No, no te imagines triciclos como los de ahora, me refiero al invento de los “side-cars”, un carito de una rueda que se fija a un lateral de la moto, al izquierdo en lo países que circulan por la derecha y al derecho en los que países que circulan por la izquierda. Era una forma barata y rápida de multiplicar por dos la capacidad de la moto… aunque fuese a costa de dividir por dos sus prestaciones y de una conducción que era muy delicada. Hay “sidecars” que se acoplan a cualquier moto, pero hay motos que nacen ya con el “Sidecar” y que incluso llevan tracción en esa rueda, como sería el caso, en el futuro 1940, de las BMW R75 especialmente las que serían utilizadas por el ejército alemán. Sigue corriendo el tiempo y entre 1920 y 1930 se produce un cambio. La moto que había nacido como una forma de transporte barata, sencilla y asequible, con espíritu utilitario, va tomando una deriva hacia una máquina para el ocio y el viaje de placer. Y si hay una moto que representa ese cambio es la BMW R32 de 1923, con detalles tan modernos como su motor bóxer y su transmisión por cardan. Una moto que era mucho más rápida y fiable que sus contemporáneas. Y entre esas motos de alta gama, casi de lujo, en 1936 aparece la reina, la que llamamos en estos años “El Rolls Royce de las motos”, la Brough Superior SS100, nada menos que la moto utilizada por el “héroe” Lawrence de Arabia que ha llegado a comprar 8. ¿Quién nos iba a decir que tras una guerra Mundial llegará rápidamente otra? Solo fueron necesarios 20 años, 9 meses y 21 días... se ve que no habíamos escarmentado. No sé cuál fue peor, pero sí que la moto fue más protagonista en la Segunda que en la Primera, gracias no solo a las BMW alemanas, sino también a sus “copias” rusas la Ural y a las Harley Davidson de los norteamericanos. En la postguerra la moto resurge como una opción muy interesante, pero en una doble vía como ya hemos comentado: Por un lado, se refuerza como vehículo practico, barato y sobre todo urbano, granas a Honda en Japón y a Vespa en Europa, pero por otro lado nace la “cultura motera”, aficionados que buscan las motos grandes por sus prestaciones y, sobre todo, sensaciones. La marca Honda nace en Japón y en 1958 lanza un scooter diseñado por el propio Sohichiro Honda y su socio, Takeo Fujisawa que se convierte en todo un éxito. Era una moto práctica, fiable, bien hecha y que mejoraba año tras año… Cuando estaba en el futuro, en el año 2025, comprobé que ya van fabricadas más de ¡100 millones de unidades!... no me extraña. Antes, en Europa, otro genio había tenido una idea genial: Aprovechando lo que había, entre otras cosas las ruedas de los trenes de aterrizaje de los aviones ya inservibles, creo un Scooter que hizo escuela… La “abeja” en italiano, Vespa, una moto que no solo era una alternativa al transporte, sino que, gracias a su calidad, y por qué no decirlo, también a su aparición en la película “Vacaciones en Roma” nada menos que con Audrey Hepburn de “paquete” y Gregory Peck a los mandos. Volvemos al momento actual. Y vemos que en 1960 Honda lanzó una moto que cambia las reglas del juego: la Honda CB750. Hasta ese momento las motos eran rudas, incluso sucias, poco fiables. La CB era una moto suave, incluso dulce, con mandos de mantequilla, silenciosa, rápida y muy bonita.

El 16 de junio se cumplen 70 años del estreno de “Historias de la radio”, uno de los grandes clásicos de nuestro cine que nos toca muy de cerca ya que se rodó en buena parte en nuestra casa, en los antiguos estudios de Radio Madrid de la Cadena SER. Os lo contamos todo sobre esta divertida y entrañable película. Le damos también un repaso a la figura y a la carrera de Ingrid Bergman la actriz sueca a la que el American Film Institute sitúa como la cuarta estrella femenina más importante de la Historia del Cine, solo superada por Katharine Hepburn, Bette Davis y Audrey Hepburn. Charlamos con Rafael Alberola de la Escuela de Cine de la Comunidad de Madrid sobre el programa “La incubadora” que impulsa proyectos cinematográficos. Y la película que nos trae Bourbon esta semana en su sección es “Buffalo Bill” de Cecil B. De Mille, que a pesar de su título no va sobre el famoso cazador de bisontes sino sobre otro legendario personaje del Oeste: Wild Bill Hickok.

Paul and Erin pack their bags and discuss two films about married couples going on multiple vacations: Alan Alda's 1981 comedy-drama THE FOUR SEASONS and Stanley Donen's 1967 drama TWO FOR THE ROAD.

Las diferencias de edad entre los actores clásicos y sus parejas femeninas se puso en entredicho con la llegada de nuevas sensibilidades, y es que, que el vaquero aguerrido de sesenta años salvará al pueblo y se quedará con la hija del predicador de dieciocho empezó a verse mal por lo que sea. Pero, ¿acabó esto con el cine clásico? ¿siguen siendo las actrices de usar y tirar a la primera arruga?, ¿existen casos al revés, de maduritas con yogurines?. Nos centramos en películas donde la diferencia de edad no forma parte de la trama en sí, por lo que quedan fuera las Lolitas y otras relaciones prohibidas o mal vistas. Vais a tener clásicos pero también pelis recientes, James Bond, turismo sexual, asesinos a sueldo, desnudos gratuitos a rachar, mucho de la pusilánime Audrey Hepburn, Woody Allen predicando con el ejemplo y muchas más historias de gerontofilia.

In 2021, Sister Monica Clare went viral on TikTok. From the account @nunsenseforthepeople, her video about a wild turkey that was menacing the grounds of the convent struck a chord and unexpectedly launched a following more than 200k people eager to learn more about the practical and spiritual lives of contemporary nuns. #NunTok was born, spurring both sincere conversations about prayer and a relentless, tongue-in-cheek campaign for Sister Monica Clare to unveil her skincare routine.Today, Sister Monica Clare is an Episcopal nun and the sister Superior at the Community of St. John the Baptist in Mendham, New Jersey; but as she relates in her forthcoming memoir, A CHANGE OF HABIT: Leaving Behind My Husband, Career, and Everything I Owned to Become a Nun (Crown & Sugar23; April 29, 2025), her path to the spiritual life was long, winding, and entirely relatable.Growing up in a chaotic and impoverished home in Georgia, Claudette Powell's (Sister Monica's lay name) childhood was spent escaping bill collectors and her unreliable father's abuse. As a little girl, she saw Audrey Hepburn in A Nun's Story and thought, that's me. She found herself drawn to the beauty and ritual of the church, wishing that her life could be filled with such orderliness and belonging.Yet for most of her life, Claudette pushed this spiritual calling away. Instead, she poured her energy into her many talents, trying to become someone worthy of the acceptance she longed for deeply: from acting school at NYU, to performing comedy with The Groundlings Sunday Company and a Hollywood career in film advertising, to her marriage. And yet, she never could seem to find someplace she felt she belonged.In the wake of a devastating divorce, Claudette found herself seriously considering a life in the church. After a decade of therapy, discernment, and paying off her debts, Sister Monica Clare finally stood nervously straightening her habit as she walked into an Episcopal convent, preparing to live alongside eleven other sisters who'd taken the same vow of poverty and celibacy.But joining the community was only the first step, thriving in monastic life would be another challenge altogether. Whether it was getting lost in the maze-like convent, speaking at the wrong time, or messing up the intricate rituals in service, Sister Monica Clare couldn't shake the anxiety and imposter syndrome that had dogged her whole life. In fact, she discovered that the learning curve can be extra steep when doing something you love. Yet through faith and patience, Sister Monica began to feel at home at the convent, first clumsily and then more easily, finding family within her fellow sisters and eventually rising to the head role of Sister Superior.Equally funny and inspiring, A CHANGE OF HABIT reveals how much better life can be when we stop trying to prove our worth to ourselves and others, and instead embrace ourselves for who truly are. A meditation on hope and belonging, A CHANGE OF HABIT is a beautiful encapsulation of faith in the modern world and the tangible ways in which we can embrace spirituality and connection in our lives.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Sau khi phân tích màu sắc của hàng ngàn bức hình chụp các vật dụng hàng ngày, các nhà nghiên cứu thuộc nhóm Bảo tàng Khoa học Vương Quốc Anh đã đi tới một khám phá bất ngờ : các màu sắc rực rỡ đang dần biến mất và nhường chỗ cho các tông màu xám. Liệu có phải rằng thế giới đang mất đi màu sắc ? Do đâu mà các gam màu tối và ảm đạm lên ngôi ?  Cụ thể, trong số 7083 vật phẩm được nghiên cứu thuộc 21 danh mục, đa phần đều là các vật dụng hàng ngày, từ năm 1800 cho tới nay, màu sắc phổ biến nhất được sử dụng là màu xám than, xuất hiện trong hơn 80% các bức ảnh. Nhưng điều đáng nói hơn là việc sử dụng tông màu xám, đen hay trắng ngày càng gia tăng theo thời gian. Nếu như vào năm 1800, ba màu này chỉ chiếm 15% trên bảng tổng hợp phân tích màu sắc thì đến năm 2020, con số này đã tăng lên tới 40% và đi kèm với đó là sự suy giảm của màu vàng và nâu. Theo thời gian, màu sắc trên các vật phẩm dần trở nên xám hơn và ít đa dạng hơn. Xu hướng này lan rộng trong nhiều lĩnh vực từ sản xuất ô tô đến các thiết bị gia dụng, xâm chiếm địa hạt thời trang và bành trướng tới cả ngành công nghiệp điện ảnh. Vậy do đâu mà thế giới lại ngày càng “xám xịt” ? Tràn lan trong lĩnh vực sản xuất Đầu tiên có lẽ cần kể tới lĩnh vực sản xuất. Có bao nhiêu đồ đạc trong nhà quý vị mang màu trắng, đen hay xám ? Chiếc tivi, điện thoại hay máy tính của quý vị có phải cũng thuộc một trong ba màu sắc trên hay không ? Chiếc xe hơi mà quý vị sở hữu mang màu gì ? Nếu như vào năm 1952, đa phần số xe hơi xuất xưởng mang các màu sắc sống động như đỏ, xanh lá và xanh lam, thì theo France Culture, tới năm 2022, cứ 4 chiếc xe trên đường, lại có tới 3 cái mang màu trắng, đen hoặc là xám. Còn theo khảo sát hàng năm của PPG Industries, công ty hóa chất chuyên sản xuất và phân phối sơn, lớp phủ, sản phẩm quang học và vật liệu đặc biệt, thì màu trắng là màu sơn phổ biến nhất cho xe hơi, chiếm 22%, màu bạc xếp thứ hai với 20%, tiếp theo đó là màu đen với 19%. Đâu là nguyên nhân đằng sau xu thế này ? Liệu có phải do con người đang dần chán ghét một thế giới muôn màu hay có lý do nào khác ? Đài France Culture nhận định nguyên nhân có thể tới từ việc giới tư bản muốn “đồng bộ hoá”, thiết lập một tiêu chuẩn chung cho các sản phẩm để dễ dàng sản xuất hàng loạt. Đồng quan điểm, nhà thiết kế Elvis Hsiao trên trang Medium, cho rằng nhà sản xuất muốn tối ưu hoá hiệu quả bằng cách tạo ra các xu hướng thiết kế trung tính vì nó dễ được nhân rộng hơn và cũng dễ tiếp cận với số đông hơn so với các thiết kế mang tính độc đáo. Do vậy, nhà thiết kế Hsiao nhận định rằng trong xã hội hiện đại, các văn hoá độc đáo thường bị hy sinh để phục vụ cho mục đích sản xuất hàng loạt.Nhưng đương nhiên đây không phải là lý do duy nhất. Nhiều khách hàng lựa chọn mua xe hơi màu trung tính vì cho rằng sẽ dễ bán lại hơn khi không còn muốn sử dụng. Ngoài ra, các sản phẩm điện tử như máy tính, vô tuyến hay điện thoại cũng hầu như mang màu đen giúp tạo ra tính tương phản, làm nổi bật những màu sắc sống động, rực rỡ trên màn hình. Hơn nữa, những màu sắc trung tính cũng giúp người nhìn không bị phân tâm mà tập trung vào hình dáng, thiết kế, đường nét của sản phẩm. Xâm chiếm địa hạt thời trangVậy còn trong làng mốt thì sao ? Liệu nơi đây đã bị các tông màu tối xâm chiếm hay chưa ? Hãy cùng quay ngược dòng quá khứ để xem các tông màu tối đã dần trở nên phổ biến như thế nào. Theo kênh France Culture, vào những năm 1860, quốc vương tương lai của Vương Quốc Anh là Edward đệ thất đã phổ biến việc hút thuốc và đồng thời phổ biến luôn cả việc mặc các trang phục mang màu sẫm như xanh than, để bảo vệ màu quần áo khỏi khói thuốc. Màu đen sau đó đã thay thế vị trí của màu xanh than và dần trở thành màu sắc phổ biến trên trang phục của các quý ông hút xì gà thời bấy giờ. Dần dà, màu đen trở thành màu sắc đại diện cho cánh mày râu, cho quyền lực và sức mạnh của đàn ông. Sau đó, các phong trào nữ quyền lên ngôi, phụ nữ dần có quyền đi làm, kiếm tiền, họ tự do hơn, mạnh mẽ hơn và có tiếng nói hơn. Họ bắt đầu mặc màu đen như một cách để thể hiện sự mạnh mẽ và quyền lực đó. Rồi tới những năm 1920, nhà tạo mốt huyền thoại người Pháp Coco Chanel cho ra đời “chiếc váy nhỏ màu đen”, tạo nên một làn sóng mới trong ngành thời trang bấy giờ. Ngày càng nhiều phụ nữ phá bỏ định kiến và khoác lên mình những bộ trang phục màu đen quyến rũ. Họ tin rằng màu đen khiến thân hình phụ nữ có vẻ mảnh mai, bí ẩn và quý phái hơn. Màu đen sau đó lại càng được yêu thích sau thành công của bộ phim “Breakfast at Tiffany's” với nữ minh tinh Audrey Hepburn thủ vai nhân vật chính. Trong phim, hình ảnh Hepburn xuất hiện với chiếc váy đen sang trọng, thanh lịch nhưng cũng không kém phần đáng yêu, đã trở thành biểu tượng của sự nữ tính trong làng thời trang và cả trong văn hoá đại chúng lúc bấy giờ. Tuy nhiên tính tới thời điểm đó, dù màu đen và các màu tối nói chung đã ngày càng phổ biến trong bảng màu của các nhà tạo mẫu, nhưng nó vẫn chưa chiếm ưu thế như ngày nay. Vậy câu hỏi đặt ra là tại sao giờ đây, người ta lại càng ngày càng ưa chuộng các tông màu tối ? Trả lời kênh France Culture, nhà thiết kế Jean-Gabrielle Causse cho biết : “Ngày nay ngay cả những đại sứ thời trang như là những nhà tạo mẫu nổi tiếng, họ cũng đều mặc trang phục màu đen. Chẳng hạn như Jean-Paul Gautier, (nhà thiết kế người Pháp), khi xuất hiện trên các sàn diễn thời trang cũng thường lựa chọn mặc màu đen.” Ảnh hưởng từ các nhà tạo mốt lên các xu hướng thời trang là không thể phủ nhận. Nhưng ngoài lý do này, chính chúng ta cũng đang “dần quên đi việc mặc các trang phục nhiều màu sắc”. Nhà thiết kế Causse nhận định : “Khi ta càng ít mặc quần áo có màu sắc sặc sỡ, ta lại càng sợ và ngại mặc nó ra đường. Mỗi sáng khi mở tủ quần áo và tự hỏi hôm nay mình sẽ mặc gì nhỉ, chúng ta sẽ lại chọn màu đen, màu xanh than hay màu trắng, để cảm thấy an toàn và yên tâm rằng bản thân không mắc các lỗi về thẩm mỹ. Hơn nữa nếu quanh chúng ta có ít người mặc quần áo nhiều màu sắc, ta lại càng không muốn mặc quần áo có màu rực rỡ.” Bành trướng trong ngành công nghiệp điện ảnh Không chỉ trong lĩnh vực thời trang, mà cả ở môn nghệ thuật thứ bảy, các gam màu tối cũng đang ngày càng chiếm ưu thế. Trong bài phân tích đăng tải trên nền tảng We Present, nơi giới nghệ sĩ chia sẻ các tác phẩm nghệ thuật, tác giả đã trích lời nhà thiết kế người Ý, Riccardo Falcinelli, cho rằng : “Nếu bạn xem Netflix, bạn sẽ thấy có rất nhiều màu đen và tối trên áp phích của các bộ phim. Cùng với đó là rất nhiều cảnh phim diễn ra vào ban đêm hoặc khi trời đang mưa. Tôi nghĩ vấn đề không chỉ nằm ở phong cách làm phim, mà còn vì ta đang sống trong thời kỳ khủng hoảng (…). Trong khi nếu bạn nhìn vào những tấm áp phích Hollywood của những năm 50, bạn sẽ thấy rất nhiều màu sắc. Đó là thời kỳ hậu chiến nên người ta lạc quan hơn nhiều.”Cùng quan điểm, nhà phê bình phim Morgan Bizet cho rằng xu hướng chuyển sang sử dụng các tông màu tối trong điện ảnh đã bắt đầu từ những năm 2000, mà cụ thể là sau sự kiện khủng bố tòa tháp đôi hôm 11/09 ở Mỹ. Ông nói : “Sau sự kiện 11/09, điện ảnh Mỹ đã chuyển sang đề cập đến những chủ đề tối tăm hơn, hiện thực hơn và do đó đã áp dụng những tông màu xám để bộ phim có vẻ nghiêm túc hơn. Xu hướng mới này cũng đánh dấu sự cắt đứt với những năm 1980 và 1990, khi các bộ phim chủ yếu tập trung vào các cảnh hành động, tuổi thơ hay hoài niệm.” Ngoài ra, việc màu sắc trong các bộ phim ngày càng tối và thường không mấy rực rỡ hay tương phảncòn xuất phát từ cách dựng phim hiện đại. Ngày nay các bộ phim thường có tiết tấu nhanh và gấp gáp hơn, với rất nhiều tình tiết diễn ra liên tục. Và với cách dựng phim như vậy, các bảng màu rực rỡ và nổi bật sẽ không còn phù hợp. Ông Jean-Baptiste Massuet, chuyên gia trong lĩnh vực lý thuyết điện ảnh, giải thích trên đài France Culture : “Đôi mắt cần thời gian để làm quen với từng màu sắc trong mỗi cảnh quay. Tuy nhiên trong phim ảnh hiện nay, các cảnh quay lại được thay đổi liên tục với tiết tấu dồn dập. Do vậy, nếu màu sắc trong những cảnh phim này quá tương phản nhau, thì mắt người xem sẽ liên tục phải điều tiết để cố gắng hiểu chuyện gì đang xảy ra. Trong khi đó nếu màu sắc được làm dịu đi, trung tính hơn, thì đoàn làm phim sẽ dễ dàng cắt cảnh và có thể dựng phim với nhịp điệunhanh và đứt quãng.” Ngoài ra, màu sắc mờ nhạt và tối tăm cũng mang lại một lợi thế cho đạo diễn: che giấu những khuyết điểm trong xử lý hình ảnh và hiệu ứng, nhất là khi mà phim ảnh ngày nay sử dụng nhiều kỹ xảo hình ảnh. Bà Isabelle Barrière, kỹ thuật viên hậu kỳ, giải thích : “Các hiệu ứng kỹ xảo trong phim ảnh khi nhìn trong bóng tối hay dưới mưa sẽ ít bị chú ý và nhìn thật hơn so với khi có ánh nắng mặt trời.”Dù xuất phát từ các nguyên nhân chủ quan hay khách quan, thì ta cũng thấy rằng ngày nay những màu sắc rực rỡ, sống động đang dần phải nhường chỗ cho những gam màu tối, trung tính và mờ nhạt. Điều này liệu có gây ra ảnh hưởng gì đến tinh thần của chúng ta hay không ? Tưởng tượng quý vị đang đi bộ trên một con đường với các tòa nhà mang màu sắc ảm đạm, ô tô thì chỉ đen và trắng, nhìn sang quần áo của bản thân và những người xung quanh cũng lại một gam màu tối, liệu cảm xúc của quý vị có trở nên u ám theo ? “Bầu trời xanh dần chuyển xám, niềm hứng khởi cũng không còn, vì nay là một ngày tồi tệ” (Trích lời bài hát Bad day - Daniel Powter).

The ​one ​that ​got ​the ​broken ​car. ​ ​The ​bitter ​taste, ​yet ​the ​surprising ​brightly ​colored ​yellow ​sun ​inside ​of ​the ​bad ​luck. ​Jack ​Lemmon, ​arguably ​the ​greatest ​comic ​and ​dramatic ​actor ​to ​ever ​grace ​the ​screen, ​who ​is ​unrivaled ​​as ​the ​everyman ​who ​trips, ​stumbles, ​ ​triumphs ​and ​gets ​the ​girl. ​Or ​in ​the ​case ​of ​Some ​like ​it ​Hot, ​the ​guy. ​ ​Starting ​this ​week ​at ​one ​of ​my ​very ​favorite ​movie ​theaters, ​the ​Film ​Forum ​on ​Houston ​Street, ​Jack ​Lemmon ​turns ​100. ​ Can ​you ​believe ​it? ​And ​the ​Film ​Forum ​is ​opening ​its ​two ​week ​tribute ​on ​Friday, ​May ​16th ​with ​the ​iconic ​story ​of ​opposites, ​the ​Odd ​Couple. ​But ​I'm ​not ​here ​to ​talk ​about ​Mr. ​Lemon's ​legendary ​roles ​in ​Days ​of ​Wine ​and ​Roses, ​Glengarry ​Glen ​Ross ​ ​having ​a ​revival ​on ​Broadway ​now ​with ​Bob ​Odenkirk ​reprising ​Lemon's ​unforgettable ​Shelley ​Levine, ​The ​Front ​Page, ​Mr. ​Roberts, ​Bell, ​Book ​and ​A Candle. ​A ​personal ​favorite ​of ​mine, ​Some ​like ​it ​Hot, ​which ​I ​watched ​on ​VHS ​until ​the ​tape ​broke…I ​am ​here ​to ​talk ​about ​one ​of ​the ​greatest ​comedies, ​if ​you ​can ​call ​a ​film ​about ​a ​mid ​level ​office ​drone ​working ​at ​an ​insurance ​company ​ ​who ​lets ​his ​superiors ​bully ​him ​into ​letting ​them ​have ​his ​apartment ​for ​their ​affairs ​in ​hopes ​of ​him ​getting ​promoted ​and ​the ​suicidal ​elevator ​girl ​who ​whom ​he ​falls ​in ​love ​with. ​A comedy ​​The ​Apartment. ​ Legendary ​director ​Billy ​Wilder, ​coming ​off ​the ​wild ​success ​of ​Some ​like ​it ​Hot ​with ​Marilyn ​Monroe, ​wanted ​to ​keep ​his ​collaboration ​with ​Lemon ​going. ​So ​in ​1960, ​Wilder ​and ​I.A.L ​diamond ​(Come ​on, ​is ​that ​the ​coolest ​name?)​ who ​wrote ​Some ​Like ​It ​Hot ​with ​Wilder ​were ​inspired ​by ​an ​infamous ​Hollywood ​murder ​story ​about ​agent ​Jennings ​Lange ​who ​was ​having ​an ​affair ​with ​actress ​Joan ​Bennett ​in ​an ​underlings ​apartment. ​So ​her ​husband, ​producer ​Walter ​Wanger, ​shot ​and ​killed ​Lange. ​Check ​out ​Karina ​Longworth's ​excellent ​podcast ​Love ​Is A Crime from ​You ​Must ​Remember ​This ​for ​the ​full ​retelling ​to ​you ​and ​I. ​This ​might ​not ​seem ​like ​source ​material ​for ​one ​of ​our ​greatest ​comedies, ​but ​in ​Wilder, ​Lemon ​and ​the ​adorable ​Shirley ​MacLaine's ​Hands, ​it ​was ​a ​box ​office ​smash, ​winning ​five ​Oscars ​out ​of ​ten ​nominations. ​Now ​I ​could ​go ​on ​and ​on ​about ​Billy ​Wilder's ​meticulous ​directorial ​precision, ​Lemon's ​unreal ​​comic ​timing ​and ​turn ​on ​a ​dime ​pathos ​why ​Ving ​Rhames ​spontaneously ​gave ​him ​his ​very ​own ​Golden ​Globe ​in ​1998. ​But I'm actually here to talk about a hat, a haircut, and a mirror. Let's rewind to 1960 - President Kennedy just took office, Roy Orbison's ‘Only The Lonely' was on the radio, and the kids were doing Chubby Checker's ‘The Twist'. The very seriously subversive theme and subject of The Apartment can not be over stated in this climate. The film, shot in gorgeous black & white by Joseph LaShelle of Laura and Marty fame, puts us smack-dab in what I'd call ‘Mad Men' central - a heady swirl of cigarette smoke and ‘Tom & Jerry' cocktail mix, office Christmas parties, wives holding on line 2 while executive husbands scheduled accepted trysts before dinner and kissing the kids goodnight. Lemmon plays ‘C.C. Baxter', a hard-working, well-meaning drone who somehow gets himself turned into a sort of brothel landlord. His neighbors wonder how he can withstand being such a Lothario - the sounds coming through the walls everynight don't match C.C. Baxter's unassuming Brooks Brothers suit with a rumpled white shirt with rounded collars and tie-bar to boot.But Baxter is caught in a hilarious cycle of paying his dues to climb the corporate ladder. This is what you must do. You must get out of bed at midnight to allow your boss to wine and bed his mistress in your Upper Westside apartment even if it involves you sleeping on a park bench in Central Park and catching your death (which Lemmon really did on that particular night shoot on location in the chilly fall of NYC). Lemmon's aspiration is to be ‘the youngest junior executive at Consolidated Insurance' so he MUST climb that corporate ladder to get the accoutrements - the windowed office, the carte blanche phone calls to pass on favors, and the bowler hat!He proudly shows it off to Shirley MacLaine's elevator operator, Fran Kubelik, who regards it as the ultimate symbol of the last ‘nice guy' crossing over the river Styx to the underworld of betrayal. She is happy for Baxter, but her eyes register a cultural sadness - this white male corporate culture is a disease and its got it claws in Baxter, and Baxter is completely oblivious to what he is about to sign on the dotted line for. Fran isn't. Despite her absolutely adorable ‘pixie' hair-cut, she has been groped by the best of them, and seems unreachable by the hordes of executives. Fran is the Snow Leopard, the last big game that hasn't been conquered. You can grab her butt, and she firmly pushes you on your way. There is something modern, forward-leaning in her attitude and appearance, punctuated by that hair-cut representing women's liberation, strength, and independence. ‘I don't need long flowing hair to make you like me, pal.' The pixie cut was popularized by Audrey Hepburn in the late 1950's, followed by the model Twiggy, and reaching its apotheosis with Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby in the mid-1960s. But Shirley MacLaine, in my humble opinion, does it best as ‘Fran', the hard-working elevator operator girl who won't fall prey. Fran says in one of the film's most famous lines of dialogue, “When you're alone with a married man, you shouldn't wear mascara.” Shirley MacLaine's tender and deep performance as ‘Fran', lets us - and eventually Baxter - know that all is not well in the corporate system and the culture at large. One of the most ingenious uses of the Hollywood film adage ‘show don't tell' in filmmaking is the use of a simple compact make-up mirror to tell a major plot turn in The Apartment. Baxter's boss, Jeff D. Sheldrake played with brave impunity by silver screen star Fred MacMurray, who was so hated after this performance he would be aaccosted in the street by ladies chasting him for playing such a ‘dirty man'. Sheldrake calls Baxter into his office early in the film for what Baxter thinks is his promotion. Sheldrake says he's heard about Baxter's ‘key' - meaning his revolving brothel. Sheldrake wants in. Baxter obliges as Sheldrake is THE biggest fish. Later, in another summoning to the head honcho's office, Baxter gives him a floral compact he discovered in his couch, assuming it belongs to Sheldrake's mistress. The mirror inside the compact is cracked jagged down the middle splitting the image of whoever opens it in two. Baxter thinks nothing of it until he is modeling his bowler hat - the Junior Executive - for Fran. What do you think? he askes her. “After all, this is a conservative firm. I don't want people to think I'm an entertainer…”. In the midst of this, Fran helpful as ever, opens her compact to show Baxter how the bowler hat looks. To Baxter's deep inner shock, he puts ‘two and two together' and realizes Fran is in fact Sheldrake's mistress. The horror. The one that was ungettable gotten by the biggest fish with a wife and two kids. The shot of Lemmon reacting in the cracked compact is on the of most effective story and visual devices I can think of in cinema. Baxter sees himself split apart - two worlds: the happy go lucky Baxter, and the Baxter that is now privy to some vile stuff involving the one girl he actually likes.Fran sees his reaction and asks ‘what is it? Baxter takes a beat. “The mirror…it's broken.” Then Fran utters one of my favorite lines, “I know. I like it this way…makes me look the way I feel.” WOW. What a subversive revilation! What a profound utterance. Talk about Chekhov. ‘Makes me look the way I feel'. We begin to realize all is not right with Fran. Sheldrake is leading her on. She sets a boundary at the local Chinese restaurant where he apparently takes all his conquests - the back booth. But Sheldrake works her over, and convinces her he WILL leave his wife. After a tryst back at Baxter's apartment on Christmas Eve, Sheldrake must catch his evening train to make dinner with the family. Obviously having forgotten to get Fran anything of real signifigance for Christmas, he opens his wallet and hands her a hudred dollar bill. Even in today's anything goes era, it's a shockingly seedy gesture that is all too real. MacLaine's Fran takes it in stride - just like Baxter leaving his key under the rug for his bosses - and stands to take off her coat and gets ready to disrobe. Fran says something like, ‘well, you already paid for it.' Ugh. My heart broke! For Fran, for Baxter, for the sad inevitablity of it all. Trigger Warning. The last portion of this episode deals with suicide. Listen with care. Fran asks to be left alone. In the bathroom, she finds the hundred dollar bill in her purse, and realizing she will never be able to break this cycle, she sees Baxter's sleeping pills - Seconal - and takes them all. Meanwhile, Baxter is out drowning his sorrows with a hilarious companion, played by actress Hope Holiday. They get drunk and dance, looking for a place to get even closer, they head back to Baxter's apartment - “Might as well go to me. Everybody else does.” Once back at his place, he discovers Fran and races to his jocular doctor neighbor, played by Jack Kruschen (also Oscar nominated for his hilarious supporting role as Dr. Dreyfuss), and Fran narrowly misses checking out. While recovering at Baxter's playing gin rummy (which MacLaine was playing alot of as a peripheral member of the Rat Pack), Fran and him bond, more than bond. They fall into bliss and don't even know it. It's a beautiful chemistry, one that apparently as it evolved dictated the script. Sources say upon commencement of filming, the screenplay was a mere 40 pages, and Wilder liked to work that way and let things evolve. He was also famous for re-shooting after viewing dallies. MacLaine calls him 'sciencentific, brittle and caustic with women but made you better for it'. She tells a story about once such instance during a climactic scene with Fred MacMurray's ‘Sheldrake' where she couldn't get the emotion necessary for their break-up in the Chinese restaurant they frequent. MacLaine's native Canadian accent was coming out literally on the word ‘out.' After viewing the ‘rushes', he concluded they need to re-shoot, even calling MacLaine out in the screening room. MacLaine, much like Fran, didn't buckle under pressure, and they re-shot. On the day, Wilder called ‘Action' and excused himself to give her the privacy to do the scene. She hit it out of the park, uttering the lines from that take that made the final cut, “So you sit there and make yourself a cup of instant coffee while he rushes out to catch the train.”Well, long story short, Baxter and Fran end up together - thank Heavens. I could explain the plot twists to get them there, but I want to leave you with one final remberance of MacLaine's. When asked what it was like to work with Jack Lemmon, she said, “He would say, ‘Magic time!', every time the camera rolled. And then we knew we'd better make some magic.”Check out The Apartment on the big screen at The Film Forum in all its glory this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. And all of Jack Lemmon's ‘Magic time' over the next two weeks.

Audrey Hepburn była ikoną kina, piękna i stylu. Wiele filmów, w których zagrała, przypominało bajki, być może dlatego przez całe życie szukała swojego księcia. Pierwszy ślub nagle odwołała. Kolejny odbył się zgodnie z planem, ale wcale nie żyli z mężem „długo i szczęśliwie”. Drugi raz „tak” Hepburn powiedziała 15 lat później, jednak i ten związek nie okazał się „na zawsze”. Pocieszenie aktorka znajdowała w licznych romansach. Ostatecznie spotkała tego jedynego, ale jej droga do szczęścia była długa i wyboista. Autorka: Natalia Hołownia Artykuł przeczytasz pod linkiem: https://www.vogue.pl/a/wszyscy-mezczyzni-audrey-hepburn-i-jeden-ktorego-szukala-cale-zycie

This week, Stauney and Sadie are talking about Edith Head, the powerhouse designer who ruled Hollywood's wardrobe departments for decades with her signature bob, tinted glasses, and an iron fist. From dressing Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn to winning eight Academy Awards, Edith didn't just stitch clothes—she shaped characters, crafted icons, and changed the way people were seen on screen. Tune in as we dive into her legendary career, her unexpected rise from Spanish teacher to studio insider, and how she built a brand of creative control in a male-dominated industry—one costume at a time.

¿Quién fue Giulia Toffana? ¿La primera asesina en serie de la historia, o una mujer que hizo justicia? Ella, boticaria, es llevada ante el Santo Oficio para ser interrogada. Esta Toffana montó una red de crimen organizado femenino que se rebeló contra el Estado de Roma. Vanessa Montfort ha viajado a la Roma del siglo XVII para contarnos una historia cautivante que ha merecido el premio Primavera, que publica Espasa: La Toffana. Se cumplen 100 años de la publicación de una de las obras de resonancia mítica en el mundo de la literatura. Una obra que se vendió muy poco en su época, y que sin embargo, tuvo elogios efusivos, como los de Raymond Chandler: El gran Gatsby, de Scott Fitzgerald. Apenas doscientas páginas que se transformaron en un clásico universal, que se revaloriza año a año. Contamos los secretos más escondidos de esta novela.¿Cuánto leemos en digital? Se lo preguntamos a Arantza Larrauri, directora general de De Marque, principal distribuidora de libros digitales en lengua española.En la sección de Audiolibros, El último encuentro, de Sándor Márai.Y entre las últimas novedades, Audrey Hepburn, convertida en heroína de guerra.

„Módní ikona“, která se sama sobě nikdy nelíbila. I přes nesporný talent a řadu ocenění byla prý na každém natáčení vystresovaná. Její charisma bylo možná dáno šlechtickým původem. Extrémně útlá postava zase útrapami v dětství. Narodila se 4. května 1929 a jako válečné dítě zažila v okupovaném Holandsku hladomor, který jí podlomil zdraví. Její zkušenost ji nejspíš přiměla využít svou slávu k pomoci dětem v nouzi. Její humanitární činnost je stejně známá jako její filmy.

In this episode, Sam and Jayne discuss their predictions for Season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty. They compare Season 3's promo to Audrey Hepburn's iconic promo "Sabrina", and debate the future of the show in the upcoming season. Next, they discuss the new movie 'Sinners' starring Michael B. Jordan and Hailee Steinfeld. Finally, they end off with Song of the Week!

In 2021, Sister Monica Clare went viral on TikTok. From the account @nunsenseforthepeople, her video about a wild turkey that was menacing the grounds of the convent struck a chord and unexpectedly launched a following more than 200k people eager to learn more about the practical and spiritual lives of contemporary nuns. #NunTok was born, spurring both sincere conversations about prayer and a relentless, tongue-in-cheek campaign for Sister Monica Clare to unveil her skincare routine.Today, Sister Monica Clare is an Episcopal nun and the sister Superior at the Community of St. John the Baptist in Mendham, New Jersey; but as she relates in her forthcoming memoir, A CHANGE OF HABIT: Leaving Behind My Husband, Career, and Everything I Owned to Become a Nun (Crown & Sugar23; April 29, 2025), her path to the spiritual life was long, winding, and entirely relatable.Growing up in a chaotic and impoverished home in Georgia, Claudette Powell's (Sister Monica's lay name) childhood was spent escaping bill collectors and her unreliable father's abuse. As a little girl, she saw Audrey Hepburn in A Nun's Story and thought, that's me. She found herself drawn to the beauty and ritual of the church, wishing that her life could be filled with such orderliness and belonging.Yet for most of her life, Claudette pushed this spiritual calling away. Instead, she poured her energy into her many talents, trying to become someone worthy of the acceptance she longed for deeply: from acting school at NYU, to performing comedy with The Groundlings Sunday Company and a Hollywood career in film advertising, to her marriage. And yet, she never could seem to find someplace she felt she belonged.In the wake of a devastating divorce, Claudette found herself seriously considering a life in the church. After a decade of therapy, discernment, and paying off her debts, Sister Monica Clare finally stood nervously straightening her habit as she walked into an Episcopal convent, preparing to live alongside eleven other sisters who'd taken the same vow of poverty and celibacy.But joining the community was only the first step, thriving in monastic life would be another challenge altogether. Whether it was getting lost in the maze-like convent, speaking at the wrong time, or messing up the intricate rituals in service, Sister Monica Clare couldn't shake the anxiety and imposter syndrome that had dogged her whole life. In fact, she discovered that the learning curve can be extra steep when doing something you love. Yet through faith and patience, Sister Monica began to feel at home at the convent, first clumsily and then more easily, finding family within her fellow sisters and eventually rising to the head role of Sister Superior.Equally funny and inspiring, A CHANGE OF HABIT reveals how much better life can be when we stop trying to prove our worth to ourselves and others, and instead embrace ourselves for who truly are. A meditation on hope and belonging, A CHANGE OF HABIT is a beautiful encapsulation of faith in the modern world and the tangible ways in which we can embrace spirituality and connection in our lives.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Last week, we discussed a few vegetables with toxic parts or traits. We also talked about houseplants and a big toxin we went over was oxalic acid. But I want to dive into some flowery poisons. So of course we need to talk about the pretty plants in many flower gardens that are actually poisonous. We discuss various bulb plants like daffodils and tulips, of course, as well as the simple weedy flowers, shrubs and vining plants that are toxic to both humans and animals. Our Greek and Roman mythology fans will love our discussion on daffodils/narcissus, because there are just so many stories concerning it. We also have stories of those who have survived such poisonings (and a few tragic stories as well, unfortunately). Oh, and some how, Audrey Hepburn makes it in this one? Come find out how and also learn what plants not to put in your mouth or allow children or pets around unmonitored. Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!

“First, he's a geek, and then you start going out with him. Then he's a geek again. Honey, I don't know what a geek is." We watched the geek-to-chic classic "Can't Buy Me Love" with our friend Ben Cheeves, and there's a $1,000 telescope at the mall with all of our names on it. This modern-day Pygmalion in high school may be well-worn territory today, but way back in 1987, this concept was fresh as a daisy. Nerdy Ronald Miller (Patrick Dempsey) uses his saved-up lawn-mowing cash to bail head cheerleader Cindy Mancini (Amanda Peterson) out of some fiduciary troubles, and young Ronald goes from "totally geek to totally chic." Patrick Dempsey is adorable in this movie, and much like Audrey Hepburn and Rachel Leigh Cook after him, it just takes a bit of hair product and chucking those glasses for the audience to realize he wasn't the horrid slob the movie characters all think he is. Dr. McDreamy may be years away, but we still see the spark of the handsome man everyone's mom loves - that effortless mop of curls is the envy of women everywhere, and that smile can just knock your socks off! Amanda Peterson is really doing some good work as well - Cindy never comes off mean-spirited or above Ronald - we leave that to the truly rotted group of popular kids. We do get some "Saved by the Bell" vibes from the movie, and sometimes the script is heavy-handed, but this movie is a 1987 time capsule if there ever was one. Every house in suburbia had that daybed, and if you owned or coveted a white convertible Volkswagen Cabriolet, you're gay now. We don't make the rules.  Thanks for listening and don't forget to subscribe, rate and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Bluesky: @MTMUGPod.bsky.social Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram Peterlasagna

A Golden Age Hollywood star in every sense, at just 16 Ruta Lee was  cast in the all-time great movie musical, 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers', subsequently becoming the designated smoldering beauty, spicy sexpot and fiery vixen in  iconic TV Westerns, mysteries and dramas of  the '50s and '60s. She is celebrating her 90th birthday in classic Ruta fashion: with a one-woman show, fabulously titled 'Consider Your Ass Kissed! This week she brings her legendary inside showbiz lore and boundless energy to the Media Path studio!Ruta's story begins with her Lithuanian background and parents who escaped the oppression of the Communist regime to Montreal, Quebec, where Ruta was born, singing and dancing. Her mother reached out to a Lithuanian priest in Los Angeles and thus began the plan to head for Hollywood.Ruta's Hollywood High training prepared her to land roles on The George Burns & Gracie Allen Show, The Roy Rogers Show and then iconic films including Funny Face with Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn and Sergeants Three with The Rat Pack! Ruta recounts her heroic efforts to extract her Grandmother from a Siberian internment camp. She took her request straight to Khrushchev! She tells us about her work with The Thalians, an organization founded by Hollywood actors to help children receive mental health care.

Astrology forecast for March 8-15You read that right- this week we have a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Virgo, and shortly thereafter, Mercury will turn retrograde to make our communications over the next few weeks more than a little adventurous. Mars has finally moved from the 17th degree of Cancer and is now in the 18th degree of Cancer. It's not much of a shift, but progress is progress and it's definitely a step in the right direction as we could use a more empowered Mars to help offset the Venus Retrograde and the soon-to-be Mercury Retrograde. Chris and Almie discuss the various retrogrades and also let listeners know what they can expect from this Friday's Lunar Eclipse. It's going to be a week! In “Ask a Scorpio,” Chris learns that Katharine Hepburn and Audrey Hepburn weren't actually related. 

It's Billys birthday month so he chose to do a month dedicated to his favorite actress of all time: Audrey Hepburn. So we take a look at the classic romantic comedy Roman Holiday about an American reporter(Gregory Peck) and a princess(Audrey Hepburn) as they wander the streets of Rome and fall in love. Hopefully Raul enjoys it too. Follow Billy and Raul on BlueSky @masterofpuns196 and @raulvaderrdz as well as the main show @synspod

The old Pull List Review episodes I did are now my Reading Pile episodes, where I talk about the books I read in a particular month. In this case, I talk about some of the 56 comic books I read in January 2025, plus my plans for the podcast this year. I'm also joining the #JSApril event that is celebrating 85 years of everyone's favorite and first Golden Age superhero team, the Justice Society of America.

Hollywood stars: they don't make ‘em like they used to. While there are still many fine actors and actresses working in film and television today, very few have the megawatt star power that used to bring audiences to the theaters from the mid- to late 20th Century. And as we move further and further away from the Golden and Silver ages of Tinseltown, the Great Pop Culture Debate podcast wants to determine: who WAS the Best Classic Hollywood Movie Star? We consider 16 film actors and actresses who made their big breaks prior to 1969, including: Cary Grant, Paul Newman, Judy Garland, Ingrid Bergman, Humphrey Bogart, Fred Astaire, Joan Crawford, Katharine Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart, Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Bette Davis, Gene Kelly, Gregory Peck, and Barbara Stanwyck. Join host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Derek Mekita, Jonny Minogue, and Karissa Kloss as they discuss 16 of the biggest Hollywood legends who made their big breaks prior to 1969.

We like the song "Breakfast at Tiffany's", so we figured we should maybe watch an Audrey Hepburn classic for our rom-com masterpiece and finale of the love lads season. Through missing co-hosts and unfortunate circumstances with guests, we are still bringing you our takes on love and scary faces. What modern film do we compare this ending to? Why is Seth chasing women across the U.S. like Forrest Gump? And who are Trojan condoms specifically ribbed for? Tune in this week to find out all this and more, but only on "The Good, The Bad, & The Movies"!P.S.

Check out this trailer for a new history podcast from the BBC. Actress Nicola Coughlan, from Bridgerton and Derry Girls, hosts History's Youngest Heroes – a podcast telling twelve true stories of rebellion, risk and the radical power of youth. Nicola Coughlan shares inspiring tales of both famous and forgotten young heroes – like Audrey Hepburn, who took on the Nazis during World War Two before becoming a Hollywood Star – and Nelson Mandela, who was only a young activist when attempting to overthrow the South African government to end apartheid. This podcast demonstrates how young peoples' bravery can change history. Listen to the teaser here – and find History's Youngest Heroes, from the BBC, wherever you get your podcasts.
